I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
Identify, pronounce and use the words sunny (có nắng), rainy (có mưa), windy (có gió) and cloudy (có mây).
Ask and answer about the weather in the past with 'What was the weather like last weekend?' and 'It was windy.'
Explain that 'was' is used for past weather and 'is' is used for the weather today.
Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and choose the correct word or sentence, ask and answer the target question in pairs, read word cards and write two lines of dialogue in their notebooks.
Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce the four weather words with the correct stress, use 'was' correctly in 'It was windy' and 'What was the weather like...?', and avoid using 'was' with 'today'.

2. General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss cover the meaning of each word on flashcards and test themselves before checking, and they correct their own answers in the quiz.
Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs to ask and answer about last weekend's weather, switch roles, change one piece of information and sing the new lyrics with their group.
Problem-solving and creativity: Ss work out the meaning of new words from gestures and pictures, put jumbled words into correct sentences, and create new answers with their own information or an imaginary character.

3. Personal qualities

Diligence: Ss join every game, repeat the words until they can say them correctly, and finish the writing task at home.
Kindness: Ss listen patiently to their partners, help classmates who are unsure, and praise each other after the pair talk.
Responsibility: Ss keep their weather notes carefully and report what they really heard from family members in the wrap-up activity.

II. Resources and materials

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 5 minutes

Weather Charades

Aims

Ss activate prior knowledge of weather and get ready for the new words.

Content

T mimes four kinds of weather: sun shining (hands above head), rain falling (fingers moving down), wind blowing (hands waving in front of face), and clouds covering the sky (hands moving across). Ss guess what the weather is. Then T asks: 'How is the weather today?' and Ss answer with the present form.

Expected outcomes

Ss name the weather from gestures and answer 'It is...' for today's weather.

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils
Ss listen carefully and get ready to guess.
Teacher
T mimes sun, rain, wind and cloud one by one and gives Ss time to guess.
Pupils
Ss guess and call out the answers. Expected answers: 'Sunny!', 'Rainy!', 'Windy!', 'Cloudy!'
Teacher
T asks: 'How is the weather today?'
Pupils
Ss answer: 'It is sunny.' / 'It is windy.' (depending on the real weather today).

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 15 minutes

New Words: Sunny, Rainy, Windy, Cloudy

Aims

Ss recognize, pronounce and understand the meaning of four weather words.

Content

Look, listen and repeat: T shows flashcards with pictures and models each word with its gesture. Cover-and-call: T covers the meaning and Ss say the word from the picture. Ss use gestures and do not spell the words letter by letter. Then Ss do Exercise 1 (matching words and meanings) and Exercise 2 (Listen and choose the word you hear).

Expected outcomes

Ss pronounce the four words correctly and match them with meanings. Exercise 1 answers: sunny – có nắng; rainy – có mưa; windy – có gió; cloudy – có mây. Exercise 2 answer: A (rainy).

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T shows each flashcard, says the word and does the gesture. T says: 'Repeat after me: sunny, rainy, windy, cloudy.'
Pupils
Ss repeat in chorus, then in groups, then individually. T corrects the stress and the final sounds.
Teacher
T covers the picture label and asks: 'What is this?' Then T mimes the weather and Ss answer.
Pupils
Ss call the words from the pictures and do the gestures with T. Example: T shows a rainy card; Ss say 'Rainy! It has rain.'
Teacher
T plays the audio (or uses NeoEdu) for Exercise 2 and asks: 'What word did you hear?' For Exercise 1, T calls two pairs to the board to match the words with meanings.
Pupils
Ss show answer A on whiteboards for Exercise 2. Ss match 'sunny – có nắng', 'rainy – có mưa', 'windy – có gió', 'cloudy – có mây' in pairs and give their answers.
Teacher
T reviews the four words and their meanings and asks Ss to copy them into their notebooks with a small picture.
Pupils

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 15 minutes

Listen, Point and Say: What Was the Weather Like?

Aims

Ss understand and say the target question and answer, and recognize the use of 'was' for past weather.

Content

Listen, point and say: T presents the dialogue 'A: What was the weather like last weekend? B: It was windy.' Ss point to the picture of the weather that matches each line. Then Ss do Exercise 7 (Listen and choose the sentence you hear: A. What was the weather like last weekend? B. Great! Let us go. C. It was windy.). Then T explains: 'was' for last weekend, 'is' for today. Also explain: 'Do you want to go to...?' is answered with 'Great! Let's go' or 'Sorry, I can't'.

Expected outcomes

Ss say the dialogue with the correct pattern and choose the correct sentence in Exercise 7. Answer: C (It was windy.).

Procedure

Teacher
T plays the audio for Exercise 7 and asks Ss to choose A, B or C. T asks: 'Why is the answer not A?' (Because it is the question, not the answer.)
Pupils
Ss answer C (It was windy.). Some Ss may choose A because they want to hear the question first; T explains the difference between question and answer.
Teacher
T writes on the board: What was the weather like...? / It was + sunny/rainy/windy/cloudy. T reminds Ss: 'Do not use was with today when you talk about the weather now.'
